Could you give us an area to be going on with, there are a lot of james hawkins! And any other family members you know of to narrow it down.

Regards Linda :)

Have you tried to find him Zoe and are stuck or have you not yet looked for him?

The 1911 is free to search.

Jill

HI he lived in sheffield at that ppint originally from kent where is it free, thanks zoe x

You can search here:

http://www.1911census.co.uk/

It is free to search the index. If you want to see a transcription or a copy of the record then you will need to buy credits. It's the same for all of us I'm afraid.

Unfortunately only Find My Past have the 1911 census. Even those who have a subscription to FMP have to pay

Quinsgran


not quite correct


You can go direct to the 1911 website without having to go through findmypast

www.fmpbsol.1911census.co.uk/


I don't see the point in paying a subscription to findmypast just to access the 1911 census, on which you then have to buy credits!

hi guys, i have just bought some credits and seen that james lived in an institution, meaning he lived in the hospital quarters. his birth does not match up with the one my nan has in her diary december 1870, but maybe she was wrong, x

Sylvia.

I know you dont have to subscribe to FMP to access the 1911 census. What I meant was even if you have a subscription you still have to pay to view it


Zoe did the occupation of James Hawkins in the institution match what you have

hi
yeah he was a hospital porter and lived with all the nurses, lol x

When and where was James born from the 1911 census?

hi,
it says he was born rochester, kent in 1873 age 38,
thanks so much again
Zoe xxx

What are the details from his marriage cert?

Is this his marriage?

Marriages Sep 1917
Hawkins James Twyman Ecclesall B. 9c 649

Rose

hi,
it just says he married Rosina Twyman aged 46 and she was 24 in sheffield, 1917
he was a bachelor and she was a spinster.
his father henry andrew hawkins- engibe driver - deseased
her father henry twyman - tea caterer

I'm not seeing a James Hawkins born in Rochester on any of the other censuses.

There's only one Henry Andrew Hawkins on Ancestry but he was from Hampshire/Surrey and there's no James with him.

Rose

Hi,
I cant find him on any other census' either, it was said he went to sea t the age of 13 after his parents diedl i dont know if that helps x

If he joined the Royal Navy you might be able to find his Naval record on the National Archives site. It might be one of the downloadable ones which would cost £3.50.

Jill

hiya,
I didnt know you could search them, but i will give anything a go, thanks
zoe
